    So, I have a 2005 sr5 4.0 v6 with stock steel wheels and 245/75/16s on them. Now, it was recently in an accident where front driverside wheel was hit minorly and I just drove it on the highway at around 60 mph. I have steering wheel shake on and off and when I was going around bends in which I made a slight turn to the right, I would get a vibration that was on and off ONLY when on a right bend. What could these things be? Need new hubs/bearings or could be differential vibes?

    Did you get the other drivers info? Start a claim with insurance and have an adjuster look at it and get a quote for damages and have it fixed on their dime.

    If it was done through insurance the work should be covered against defects. Call your insurance and/or the shop that did the work. They should, at the very least, check it out for you pro-bono.

    When my Celica got slammed by a z06 in a parking lot they hit my wheel while it was turned and needed new struts etc... My insurance covered all the work that was done against defects. It was pulling to the left so I brought it back and they fixed it.

    You said recently, so it hasn't been too long since the accident.

    Yes, I agree, Call the insurance company right away.

    There may still be time to amend the claim; if the problem started from that accident.
